Overview
Monteverde's night tour ventures into the cloud forest after dark with an expert guide to search for nocturnal wildlife. Armed with flashlights, you walk forest trails spotting Costa Rica's iconic red-eyed tree frogs, poison dart frogs, tarantulas, tree snakes, owls, and kinkajous — creatures rarely seen by day. Guides have the trained eye to find the tiniest hidden creatures, and the mystical nighttime forest atmosphere makes the experience unforgettable.
Opening Hours
Tours depart at 17:30 and 19:30 (approximately 2 hours).
Travel Tips
Wear dark clothing so animals are less startled. Right after rain is the best time for amphibian sightings. Choose a small-group tour for closer encounters.
